Day 59 - Blades of Reel

It occurs to me that we haven't had a real hockey movie in a number of years and we haven't had a good movie based on a video game in a number of ever, so it's high time that the fume-filled idea tank that the car of Hollywood runs on finally makes a movie based on the NES classic, "Blades of Steel". My movie would be called "Blades of Steel", about a group of misguided youth, who after fencing some iPhones and Macbooks (the real money is in Apple products), they are sentenced to community service cleaning a local ice rink. They, of course, develop a fondness for the ice and are naturals at the game. Taking place in either Pittsburgh or Detroit, they come across privileged youth whose parents are going to destroy their new found home to make way for either a new subdivision, an Apple store (IRONY!) or a toxic waste factory (there's a huge market for people who love manufactured toxic waste). For some reason, this all depends on the outcome of a pick-up game of hockey and the kids are taught by some out-of-work actor, like Jeff Daniels. What's he been doing? He's hilarious. And would make a great coach. And he leads them to victory. And then there's a montage of what everyone's doing.

I need contacts in Hollywood. This is brilliant.
